Bill > S03524

This bill relates to taxpayers affected by a federal government shutdown. It grants an automatic 60-day extension for filing tax returns and paying taxes for federal government employees who are furloughed due to a government shutdown. The bill also requires the state tax department to expedite tax refunds for these affected taxpayers, providing the refund within 30 days or giving written notice of any discrepancies. If the department fails to provide the refund or notice within 30 days, it must pay the taxpayer interest at a rate of 6% per annum on the refund owed.
